I transitioned from LMDE to Kubuntu recently, after I confirmed for myself that KDE 4.13 indeed ran better on the netbook on which I do a lot of my Linux stuff than the 4.11.x release on which LMDE is still stuck ... and observing that updates to various other components including the kernel are pushed more frequently than Mint does. After experimenting with (semi)rolling releases, I can appreciate an LTS release that gets frequent updates (and hopefully can "evolve" transparently into the next LTS release when time comes), esp. as I usually rebuild my kernel to tune it to my hardware (and include the Con Kolivas patches ).
I do wonder however why KDE itself is still at 4.13.0 while 2 monthly bugfix releases have already been published. Is there a timeline for KDE updates to appear in Trusty/stable, or should I add an update channel if I don't want to wait for Kubuntu 15 in order to get an update to my desktop environment?
